It's been a while since I've had to professionally worry about this,
but as I recall, compliance with PCI [Payment Card Industry] Data
Security Standards prohibit EVER storing the CVV.  Companies which
do may find themselves banned from being able to process card
payments if they're found out (which is unlikely).
